I about died...

**Classicrocker42o** · 03-30-2007 12:01 AM

Or at least felt like it... I was skating in Branson, Missouri with a friend. And if you know much about it.....Well there are a lot of huge hills. Steep smoth hills, speed gains fast.

I was ridding sector9 Teahupoo, trucks: front-gullwings, rear: Revenges. Wheels: retro limons.

I was on a road (The strip) and turned down on a big hill then 15 feet after into a parking lot .As I got closer I noticed there was a dip, I was going to fast and it caused me to speed wobble into a....sand pit....Drain....Flag....And hit the side of a ramp up to the sidewalk of the building. The ones where it's only 8" and it's aspalt. But I saved it!

It scared the #### out of me...Not literally, but damn close. Hehe.

Well I never fell off, so I think I showed it...So I rode some other parking lots, where a stream of water cought me off gard....####### pizza hut. I had a lot of speed and started to turn and hit it, didn't fall off. But I had to turn right back into it, and my board just went sideways.

Branson is pretty sweet as far as hills go. Even the parking lots aer suitable for a GS.

IF you can take a run on the blue or yellow line. There really are alot of accesable hills there, just watch out for the bluehairs.

T-shirt I saw about 30 years ago: "Sticks and stones may break my bones, but for a guaranteed fracture, try skateboarding down a steep hill into a gravel driveway"

Can we get a sticker of that? Skategeezer? Do that man. Do it. And make it pimp. Hell, I'd buy
that in a flying disc.

i call those skills: the life and death reflexes.

but it only kicks in when you need total skill and instinct to take over to save yourself from biting the dust.

**Jemwielder** · 03-31-2007 09:23 AM

Yeah man. We've all had those oh sh!t moments when you swear that you'll be eating asphalt for breakfast, and then dinner through a straw. Glad to hear you made it unscathed. Might want to invest in some pads and the like to keep yourself in one piece in the future. You will fall and it will hurt, it's just a matter of when and how hard. Oh and to the KIDvoxVISCIOUS you honor me by putting me in your signature.

**Classicrocker42o** · 04-03-2007 07:13 AM

Yeah, the oh sh!t moments seem to be something from a cartoon....

That gave me an idea...We should make a comic strip of all the unlucky stuff. lol

I don't remember who it was, but he was doing DH and his shoe flew off. That would be a great one....That's one of the funnest pictures too.
